EndoPrior-GS: Dynamic Endoscopic Reconstruction with a Joint Texture Prior

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

EndoPrior-GS is a new pipeline for dynamic endoscopic reconstruction that combines frame-extracted vision heuristics with depth maps. It creates a joint texture prior using a tool-filtered tissue mask, a non-specular photometric filter, and anatomical salience, which guides primitive initialization and density control. Experiments on EndoNeRF and SCARED datasets show that EndoPrior-GS reduces Flow Error by 27.7% and 25.8% compared to representative methods while maintaining real-time rendering speed and competitive quality.

Track2Map: Online Deformable SLAM with Motion-Aware Pose Optimization in Robotic Surgery

arXiv:2607. 08408v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Gaussian splatting is the current state-of-the-art for dense, deformable 3D anatomy reconstruction in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS); however, most pipelines are offline and depend on accurate camera trajectory priors (often from robotic kinematics), limiting applicability when priors are missing or noisy.

Render-FM: Feedforward Model for Real-time Photorealistic Volumetric Rendering

arXiv:2505. 17338v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Photorealistic volumetric rendering of CT scans greatly benefits clinical workflows, yet neural approaches such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) require prohibitive per-scan optimization (hours for NeRF, about 30 minutes for 3DGS), making them impractical in clinical settings.

Track2Map: Online Deformable SLAM with Motion-Aware Pose Optimization in Robotic Surgery

Gaussian splatting is the current state-of-the-art for dense, deformable 3D anatomy reconstruction in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS); however, most pipelines are offline and depend on accurate camera trajectory priors (often from robotic kinematics), limiting applicability when priors are missing or noisy. To address these limitations, we propose Track2Map, an online 3D Gaussian Splatting pipeline that jointly optimizes camera trajectory and 3D deformable scene representation directly from surgical video.
